"The key to making a good piece of art lies in its concept or design... I enjoy combining traditional Indonesian cultural elements with modern design."

The creative masks of Balinese artist Made Sarna have been featured in Time Magazine.

Made Sarna, born in 1965, is the son of Nyoman Suwitra and Ketut Rawit. He had been a painter since 1978, until one day in 1987 when he met an American named Bill Paradise, who introduced himself as a designer and businessman. The man helped Sarna develop techniques of coloring wood using various paints, and his basic skills in art made it easier for him to learn how to carve. In a very short time his carvings were getting better and Paradise began placing numerous orders. Soon after the first order, Sarna decided to open a shop of his own – a place to produce the works and at the same time display them.

Says the artisan, "The key to making a good piece of art lies in its concept or design, how we want to create it. For most of my artworks I enjoy combining traditional Indonesian cultural elements - like Balinese, Javanese, or Lombok - with modern design."

I received my set of Santa Claus ornaments in the mail today. They are beautiful! They look even better in person and will look great on my Christmas tree next Christmas. A very talented artist also.

I just received the "Santa" and the "wood elves" tree ornaments. They were wrapped so beautifully I hated to open the packages - but the treasure inside was worth it. Lovely, wonderfully whimsical ornaments that will be amazing on the tree. What a lovely lift to my day receiving this order!

Mr. Sarna's angel ornaments are wonderful examples of hand-made christmas decor with so much character and charm. These have highly ornate golden wings that frame the naturalistic and masterfully carved body. I look forward to adding them to my other consort of Christmas angels.

Got the Magic Dragons and they WERE! Very magical and fun. Great craftsmanship and also wonderfully packaged in a cloth covered box that could be used as permanent storage. However, I am using mine as a box for papers on my desk. Thank you for your wonderful work and creativity.

Thank you for the Rooster. The work was beautiful and skillful. It's a gift for my Mother who collects roosters and I know without a doubt she will love it as much as I did when I first saw it. Thank you for sharing your talents with the world.

Made Sarna,

Thank you for the beautifully carved "incognito" elephant head. I was very pleased and would purchase another of your carvings.

Our whimsical giraffe mask carved by Made Sarna, is hanging on our living room wall in a special place. Visitors comment on his creation and ask where we got it.

Thanks to Made and to Novica, we can share the art of artists from around the world.

I've just received the "Reptile Rhyme" coat rack that I ordered - and I love it! It's absolutely charming - makes me laugh - and I'm looking forward to getting years of pleasure out if it. Thank you so very much!

Made Sarna's work is beautiful. The "Ancient Giraffe" and "Vertical Zebra Mask" make a wonderful addition to the animal carving display wall in my jungle lounge. I thank Made Sarna and Novica for bringing a piece of a far away exotic land into my home.

I work with animals and I’m luckily enough to have a real zebra as a friend. My sister also has a zebra, so I just had to get this most beautiful zebra mask for her. You truly are a talented artist and everyone just loves this work you have so skillfully done! I’m likely to be ordering some more for myself and some close friends.

Thank you so very much,

Roger Berry

PS, here is a photo of me and my zebra, Dandy:
